Bamboo in the window beckons guests to the warmly lighted lobby of the Hotel 41. This stylish hotel is not meant for family visits; rooms are tiny, even for two people. Most standard rooms face a brick wall, but if you can get past the size and not-so-thrilling views, it's a cozy place to stay, with a bed showing off crisp linens and a TV hanging above the closet. Bathrooms are elegant, with half-glass showers, original tile on the floor, and Aveda amenities. Downstairs, Bar 41 is a dark sports bar-like hangout with rock music loudly playing. Find serenity in the intimate back room wine cellar. Pros: DVD player in rooms; some rooms have refrigerators. Cons: lack of queen-size beds; small rooms; no view.
